Overview

Raleigh Conservatory of Music specializes in piano and violin instruction for all ages and levels.  Our program offers lessons from certified, professional faculty members who have over 110 years of combined teaching experience.

We offer 45 minute and 60 minute weekly lessons.  During lessons, we not only teach musical literature, but also technique, music theory, and music history.  Yearly tuition covers 38 lessons during the school year and 6 hours of summer lessons.  More summer lessons may be taken if desired.  Lesson times are available Monday through Saturday.  Our tuition is based on a per-lesson rate and may be paid in two payments or four payments.  If you need a different payment plan, we will work with you to accomodate your needs. 

For transfer students, we prefer to have an "interview" lesson.  This allows us to assess the student's level of progress, personality, and learning style to match them with the teacher best suited for them.

Raleigh Conservatory gives a SOUND education in music.
